By holding the "Olympic Sister Cities Cage Football International Invitational Tournament", "Diplomats' Cage Football Friendly Tournament in China" and "Beijing Cage Football Invitational Tournament" and other forms of sports exchange, we have actively practiced non-governmental diplomacy and public diplomacy, and it is also a useful attempt to contribute to the construction of Beijing International Exchange Center.

As a valuable cultural heritage of the Chinese nation, the Great Wall is the pride of the Chinese nation and the pride of all mankind, symbolizing the unbreakable and pioneering will and strength of the Chinese nation. Taking the Juyongguan Great Wall as the background, combining cage football, billiard ball and other emerging international sports with traditional Chinese culture will not only highlight the profound heritage of Chinese culture, but also enhance international people-to-people exchanges and friendship. At the same time, high-tech means such as big data and digitalization are combined with emerging sports activities, cultural exchanges are cleverly integrated in innovative ways, sports, diplomacy, mutual learning of civilizations are immaculately displayed, and ancient and modern, east and West, science and sports are gathered in an internationally friendly scene. This is the original intention of the organizer, but also the infinite expectations of all sectors of society. < /p>It is reported that the Beijing Olympic City Sports and Culture Festival is held in August every year, with a wide influence. It has become an Olympic theme cultural brand activity favored by the public and actively participated in, and has been confirmed by the International Olympic Committee as a list of items for the inheritance of the Winter Olympic heritage.
